Page 2 of 2 No. 7 : I'm a DFW nonfiction fan, admirer, champion. His vision of the regular goings-on on ON this cheating terra firma floating so tenuously in space called earth helped me in tiny ways. I can't say I am surprised-shocked, yes, surprised, no. His essay on Federer alone ranks among the most lovingly and sublimely written fan letters that have ever been written. And the commencement speech, which I just reread, is superb, original, nonstandard, unbelievably honest and, ultimately, his message. Read it, kids. Man, what the fuck. — markusNo. 8 : DFW was, by far, my favorite writer. I'd been actively waiting for his next fiction book for a number of years now. His book Infinite Jest was by far the most profound, moving, and changing thing I've ever read, and now ... it will be the most profound thing I'll ever read. I own all his books, sitting on my nightstand, but it all seems kind of empty now. There's really nothing else to say. ... I might break down later. |
